Is there a way to attache this cord to the one in the box for additional footage? We need a longer cord to get to a clear sky. More than 147 ft. null

Question

STARLINK Product Expert · Accepted Answer

The 150 ft cable is the longest that is offered.   Although the Starlink cable conforms to RJ45 standards, we do not recommend modifying your cable or combining it with another cable to add length as we cannot guarantee the quality of service. Additionally, the Starlink cable provides a water-resistant protective seal with a locking mechanism, and is power rated specifically to the Starlink kit, therefore we do not recommend using any 3rd party cables as it may cause water damage to your Starlink.  Any damages to your Starlink Kit caused by the above may void your Starlink warranty. Use at your own risk.
Cable specifications are dependent on the hardware type. Please click here https://support.starlink.com/topic?category=6&category=53 and find your Starlink hardware type.

If 150 feet is the maximum single size cable Starlink offers, you have three options. I will give you the two easiest (the third isn't difficult, but it does involve making your own cable):

1. You can buy an In-Line Coupler, like the one shown here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-cat-6-rj-45-in-line-coupler-black/6517226.p?skuId=6517226  You connect the RG45 connector on the Starlink cable to one end, and a regular Ethernet cable (male RJ45) connector to the other. As long as you remain under 325 feet TOTAL, you should be able to transceive up to 1Gbps data.

2. Similar to #1 above, you can buy an Ethernet extension cable. This acts similarly to the way a Coupler will work; it just incorporates the Coupler as part of the cable. I didn't see any on the BB website, but you can find them at other electronics stores, or perhaps Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc.

As long as the one in the box has the same rj45 cat6 ends. you could use an adapter, a coupler or patch extension.
